Our special picture gallery pays tribute to the late, great Sean Fallon, the former Celtic player and coach who died today aged 90.

IN HIS long association with Celtic, that spanned three decades, Sean Fallon carried out almost every football role the club had to offer.

As a player he carried an air of indestructibility and a reputation as a fearless competitor with his ‘Iron Man’ nickname not only coming from his past as a triathlete in his native Ireland, but his ability to play through the pain barrier. This was, after all, the man who played one match with a broken arm.

In his latter years he served as coach, scout and assistant to Jock Stein, even managing the club in the season that the great Celtic manager recovered from a serious car crash.

His CV earned him his place in Celtic history alongside the club’s true greats, but he was always a humble man, keen to play down his contribution.
